Peacock's new mockumentary series 'Mr. Throwback,' featuring NBA star Stephen Curry, Adam Pally, and Ego Nwodim, premieres on August 8. The series, primarily filmed in Chicago, follows Curry playing a version of himself alongside Pally's character, Danny Grossman, a former basketball prodigy turned memorabilia shop owner. The show, created by brothers Matthew and Daniel Libman, combines comedy with a plot reminiscent of other classic comedies and mockumentaries. Critics highlight Curry's natural acting ability and his commitment to the role, which impressed co-stars like Nwodim. The series draws comparisons to 'The Office' and 'Uncut Gems,' promising a mix of humor and heartfelt moments.
